[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, OP!!

My kid's scores are surprising too. Highest on nonverbal, which is traditionally a family weakness (96).  90% on verbal and 93 on quant.  Composite score 128.  [/quote]

Why on earth are these baffling? 90s aren’t weakness.  Someone is saying their kid is in the 50s and you come in saying “me too!” Is it just to make the other feel bad? [/quote]

No, not at all.  I'm just saying that historically my children's nonverbal scores are their lowest.

It seems that NGAT wasn't either designed or administered properly.  Looking at the other posters' comments, it seems that the score discrepancy between categories is more than one should normally expect. [/quote]

Dp. I have a WISC for my second grader with ADHD. Her verbal score on the NGAT is not close to her verbal score on WISC. The other two are not far off, but the discrepancy on verbal makes me wonder about the questions asked on NGAT.[/quote]

I just want you to know that the WISC doesn’t count for much. My kid had a 99th in WISC at the end of grade 2. COGAt and NNAT were good but not off the charts. Great student. All 4s etc and still didn’t get in until 4th grade. They don’t care about the WISC. Looked at a “paid” test that not everyone can afford. [/quote]
Unless your child’s WISC is above 145, they don’t usually put much weight on it.  If your child scored above 150 on WISC is pretty much an automatic admission.  Given that’s an above 99.99% IQ score.  My old boy had to take the WISC for appeal, and scored above 150.  I know many parents’ kids got in on appeal with 145 and above WISC score. [/quote]
